Please jimbo, restore her. Make her look pretty. Fix the livery. Fix her. And just keep her up there as a trophy. Take her to shows for display. Just please let her rest and let us just admire her❤️

Seeing Jim's face light up when he snuck in the new grassroots car really made my day. 😊

I love how Spoon is like the Dad of the group, stern with it yelling at Jimmy saying "it's still business hours". You just know that he's not mad, he's just disappointed. 😂 hell yea Spoon! Haha

5:12 RIP haggard garage, can't believe I've been watching you for that long.

haggard garage mentioned holy shit. what a throwback.

I would watch another S chasis build all day.....great video trip down memory lane...

Need more Jim story time!

I am an old car guy that has always been into American muscle, but found you and Adam and all the extended Connecticut and Florida boys and love seeing all of you progress and become real mechanics and have the love for all things JDM. I hope you all make videos for years to come and we see all your kids in the future wrenching in the shop with you.

I remember watching these old videos during lunch in high school. Back then the Jimmy Oakes and haggard garage videos was like a Nickelodeon mash up 😂

Elephant in the room is the LSA e36 probably was suppose to fill this void. Still heartbroken for Jim that the LS did him like that.

Babe wake up jimmy Oakes just uploaded!

I have a feeling the new drift car is the cherry hatch 🤔

Jimmy !!! PLEASE !!! Show the nwew build we LOVE to see you and spoon work your magic . Thats the whole reason i watch your GREAT show . PS. Austin is G.O.A.T

Seeing young Jim really puts into perspective as to how long and how far he’s come! It’s been a pleasure to tag along for all these years!

This was an awesome video, loved the trip down memory lane. I wasn’t there from like the Red Z, I came from Haggard after seeing Orion Help you get the new shell and stuck with you ever since. I love living vicariously through you and love to see your growth and what the future holds for you. Big love and keep up the vibes Jimmy and the Gang.

Please be the cherry hatch!

This is the complete reason I watch this channel watching a group of friends leave no man behind!

It was so cool seeing the clips from the early days of the channel. Crazy to think how long I have been watching. I think I keep coming back to this channel because it really inspires to get in the shop everyday. I spend all my free time wrenching alone and while it can be a real bummer this channel always reminds me of the good ol days when my friends were actually about it.

Seeing this video reminded me how long i been watching the channel. Always appreciate you Jimmy

Please show us the grass roots build! I wanna see the steps!

im sure many people, such as me, would love to see the new grassroots s chassis build!!

Yo, we want to see the build. All of it. It's why we're here.

It's awesome that your full time job is also your hobby. Babies are a lot

Who doesn't like drift content ? Im here for that !! Maybe cause im in canada !! Drift season is real short back here lmao

You should be able to film what you love & I personally would be excited to see yall building the next chassis. You make the best builds and love watching still after all this time

s/o Austin for retrieving all the old clips. great video

That’s a bummer i love watching the drift builds on your channel🤙🏻 I’m stoked for the new grassroots build it’s gonna be 🔥

been following since day 1, the Haggard throwback was wild. I bet a lot of people don't remember you were always in their vids.

This was the first car purchase that got me hooked to your channel. No other youtuber/car content creator ever matched your style, energy and actual content. I wake up every morning going to youtube and checking your channel for latest upload. If I were to watch only one youtube creator, I would easily choose you. Props to all the guys who helped you in this journey on and off cam. I wish to have the same blessings and achievements as you, yes even little version/s of me or the misis. Cheers to more cars, more adventure, more parts and more drift events. Stay safe and keep doing you. Big thanks to the og Haggard crew for without them I might not have known you sooner. I wish you all and everyone reading this comment a good year ahead. Cheers!

Shove more drift cars builds down my throat. I will never complain about s chassis or drift builds.

Jimmy the OG Coupe is so nostalgic and so sick 👌 and enjoy seeing your face light up reminiscing about it I'm sure all of ours are to 🙂 and as always keep up the great work Oakes Garage 👍

I’m sure I speak for most everyone when I say this. We WANT to see ALL the drift builds! We LOVE them!

After you get her all cleaned up, I wish you had space in the shop to have the coupe like up on a pedestal. It deserves to be displayed like a trophy!

Throw all the drift car builds you want at us. More Oakes garage content, more happy!

got the feeling that the new grassroots car is gon' be that 180 shell... Least, I hope so. The retirement of the OG coupe is very bittersweet but well deserved 🫡

I remember that crazy saturn crash, never knew you swapped a shell while healing up damn!

Sucks that drift builds and drift videos don't do the best. There my favorite videos !!

it doesnt make you look bad when the guys pick up drifting quickly, makes you look like a good teacher my friend!

This video is amazing. Hit me straight in the feels, watching the coupe progress. Here's to another 7+ years with the s13

I wouldn´t mind another grassroots build...love following the proces of your builds. But I understand the extra work to film and narrate the build. Keep it up Jimmy & crew! grts form Belgium

Bro we want all the content you can make no matter what it is 🎉

this shit got me emotional im building my first 240 hatch and currently swaping a 1j , u the man jimmy

I hate that the drift videos don't do well because I love the drift videos especially in Japan that is fire content

He says the content doesn't do well but jimmy you getting into drifting is why I started watching almost every upload

YESS !!! It’s like a Dad saving his racing car the way it is. Nostalgia at its best when time goes on. Now that you’re a Dad you can retire your first Drift Car and remember the good ol times and even tell you Son Lil James all the stories and the videos you have on this channel!!! Maaannn this community you’ve built Jimmy is like an extended family!! Loved this video from start to finish🥰🥰 onto a bigger and better Pro Chassis Build🫰🏽🫰🏽🫰🏽

Can’t speak for anyone else. But I’ve personally been loving the clips from the early times of the channel as someone who wasn’t around at that point. It’s really cool seeing all the things Jimmy achieved early on.

Would love to see videos like this more with some of the other cars! Pull em out, wash them, drive them and tell their story! Been around for a while now and I think new and old viewers will enjoy it the same!

That old shop space was so nostalgic seeing it again. You’ve come a long way Jimmy!

I think my favorite coupe moment was Austin's genuine reaction to driving it the first time

Ahh the days, s13 definitely went through its best transformation tho. What a good car🫡 also we're always here for the drift stuff, even if you're just going over stuff you think you already went over, it's still nice to have an episode to put on. For a decade, these videos have been something I look forward to in my week

What a proud chassis. Lived an incredible life. Now enjoy the corner office in the shop for 2years+

Wow. I had no idea how long I’ve been watching JimmyO! It’s been my favorite channel, from any media whatsoever, for years now. Thanks for what you do, Jim and the rest of the boys. My own cars wouldn’t be as awesome as they are without your morivqtional videos!

The throwback to when everything begin was good, black coupe is a big part of oakes garage history.😁🖤🔥

CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP. Do all the builds Jimmy. We never get tired and they are always different in some way. Film it all brother! Keep up the great content. You continue to inspire me on my own builds ❤❤❤

The black coupe got to the point like the Cream S13 of LZ, a part of history of the channel that is better to keep safe

wow trip down memory lane with all the old clips from the 240 and old units great times

one of the only channels that still have friends that work together to build cool cars and help each others out.... plus they go extra mile to build cars which i cant afford haha

New grass roots is the cherry hatch sent it off to paint when he pulled nisonda out. Atleast thats what id like to think

This is definitely one of my favorite channels and has turned me on to so many others. I love the drifting content. Honestly I haven’t really been tuning in every week because I’m waiting for more drifting content. Hope you see this and makes you think that we do like the drifting content.

I love hearing him say “I didn’t have money at the time “ With a gorgeous s13 drift car with brides and work wheels 😂❤️

Dude! Don't skip out on the next S-Chassis build, that is what we live for!

love seeing you rep Irish brands 🟩⬜🟧

Hit me right in the feels. You guys killed it with the montage!

Okay you sent me down memory lane and now I am back watching you and adams bmx trips where it all started for me over 8 years ago

The driftin content is my favorite. Went from drag racing to drifting. Just a lot of fun to watch until I can do it. Please film more.

Montage made me realize how long I've been watching the channel!! You guys along with Taylor Ray are the absolute car YT legends that still stay true to themselves without falling into the *fame train*. So excited to see what this year brings to the channel! ❤

So many memories. We’ve all been here through it all man. Really cool to kind of be a part of it somehow.

That was a trip down memory lane. Came believe I’ve been watching you for like 7-8 years

GTT being left as a GTT with the Altia aero kit is a PRO MOVE!!!!! So sick of people making them into their coping mechanism for not being able to afford a GTR. The GTT is sick, and you gave it the justice it deserves. Well done!!! Lets get a montage of beauty clips

This is my favourite video from Jimmy in a long time, up there with the ebisu series, makes you realize how long you’ve been along for the ride

Definitely time to give the Coupe the Cream S13 Life, get it looking the best it ever has, and sit pretty until the special occasions to bring it out. It deserves it.

Jimmy your S13 is the absolute number 1 reason I love S13 coupes. It’s exactly how I wish I could build one someday. Loved seeing it in person when you were here in VA for the event with Clean Culture. By far my favorite car of the fleet.

man i love ant being in the videos, hes like a hidden character that doesnt let off too much info

I’ve been around since the first vid when you ‘restarted’ your YT after posting a couple of 300ZX build vids. That first vid was picking up this car with Haggard, started watching your channel straight away because I liked the shell. Now years later, still love your channel!😁

This coupe and that trip with onion is what got me into your channel.

jim man. im so fucking proud of you brother. you don't even know me, but it feels like i know you. youtube and todays age is just so weird. keep killin it, jimdad

This was like watching a behind the scenes movie, with all the memory lane cinematic shots. Great job editing.

Its gonna be tough to not see it as often as its been on the channel. The years of abuse and adventures its been trough... I love it!

I LOVED THE STORY TIME (wow i've been watching yall for a WHILE now)

These interview style / look back videos have been so so fun. Austin is the man

It's so fun seeing you go down memory lane, all these pictures are giving me flashbacks to watching you over these years and damn Jim, the progression you've made is unbelievable

Still remember coming home from highschool and seeing youd uploaded a vid picking up that s13 with the guys I watched at the time which was HG.. been watching ever since..

Honestly there def are a ton of people with drifting content… you’re 100% correct but it honedtly hits different when it’s a tight group of friends all doing it together and you get all different angles and styles of vlogging… and thank you Austin for putting the background music in 😅

Yeah, seeing the progression in you and your channel and driving is insane I feel like a long lost cousin I’ve been watching for years and if I’d ever meet you I’d literally cry

Show all the drift car stuff thats what we are here for

Love a drift build hope you share it soon 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

This car ( yours ), is the reason why i want a s13 coupe over anything else, i hope one day get mine :)

Remember with KAs there is a middle pulley for the timing chain and it’s really easy to get the middle pulley off sync with the cams. The middle pulley can be off which fucks up the dizzy timing and cam timing. It’ll look timed right by the crank marks but the cams and dizzy will still be off. It’s easy to be 180 off

I remember it all! Long time subscriber. You said it, retire it and save it for special events, just like Hert did. Have fun with the next one! 👍🏼

So much love for the channel/ the Crew/ the family ❤ since day 1. I can’t believe it’s been so long, keep it coming!!!!

Great video can't wait for the video

So glad you made this video, I've been trying to remember when I first subbed and started watching the content. Was the video of you picking this up and I've watched every single video since then! The best part of the day is seeing a Jimmy O video uploaded, love the content, all the builds and all the guys involved, keep going!

Well done to an epic journey so far Jimmy !!! Keep it up !!

This was such a cool trip down memory lane. I can't believe how long I've been subbed to this channel, lol.

Love the throwback pics/ vids you guys have been adding in keep it up!

Going to pick up the car with Onion was the first Jimbo video I ever saw! And then quickly went back and watched the LS-Z videos. Hyped to see where we all are today! Proud of you big dawg!!

This is an awesome video of the legacy of the coupe. Glad to see it get retired before something happens to it that you can’t return from.

This car to you is the equivalent to Adams cream s13, definitely deserves to be kept around for the special times

The trip down memory lane with you in this video really hit home. Your videos are always fire. But this one hit different. Seeing the history behind you cars and how you have kept them and the stages they went thru is beyond motivating. I think you should consider doing a couple more videos sometime about a couple other cars that have been with you for a long time. Keep up the good work! Love to see it!

Really love the story telling here. Really spoke to me on my drift journey Oakes for president 🎉
